@kimleadbeater and @tracey_crouch starts by highlighting the importance of the work of the APPG and this new research. Addressing loneliness needs to be a cross-government mission and the need to tackle loneliness in the workplace is evidence for this.

Head of Policy @BritishRedCross @oliviamayafield stresses the need for sustained attention on loneliness particularly given the pandemic and cost of living crisis.

Summarising the findings of the report, Olivia highlights that certain groups are more likely to feel lonely at work, including disabled workers, minoritised ethnic groups and senior managers.

@RobinHewings from @EndLonelinessUK summarises current initiatives to tackle loneliness. Findings from this new research will be invaluable to help us keep up with the dynamic shifts since the pandemic in how workplaces are designed and how they operate.

Jessica Davey explains how @mcsaatchigroup and the wider private sector are addressing employee loneliness. Creating safe spaces for employees is crucial for pursuing quality connections.

Finishing with an energising Q&A with our audience. Great to see such enthusiastic engagement on this important topic.
